Written by Simon Forman. On p.106 is the colophon
finis orationum per Simonem Forman 1600, 28 Junii hora p.m. at 8.
Begins:
f.1 Prol. In nomine s. trinitatis et indiuidue unitatis et in principio operationis istius sacratissimae artis notorie inuocato nomine altissimi creatoris etc.
f.3 Prologus per Sallomonem
In nomine Sancte et Indiuid. Trinitatis.
Inc. sanctissima Ars notoria quam Creator altissimus per Angelum suum super altare templi quoclam modo Salomoni dum oraret ministrans.
The greater part of the book consists of prayers which are usually collections of Hebrew or Greek names, or imitations thereof; e.g. p.52:
Elystemaht hacaram hemel Sadoc Ghesu heloy Camaraz Coma Jetromaym Theos Deus pie et fortis hamathaz al Jecronamay etc.
The rubrics are often in English. An Index of the Prayers follows the text.
In his diary for 1600, Forman mentions that he had copied the two books of Apollonius Niger de Arte Memoratus (see Dict. Nat. Biog.). Probably this MS. is the copy he refers to.
